While changing the block size won't help with Pd's "64-sample limit"
on the message transport, one could use clock-delayed messages to fire
an event at an arbitrary time, even in the middle of a 64-samples
block. Many builtin time-related objects (like del, metro, pipe, qlist
etc, see "x_time.c") use clocks this way, but I guess (without
looking), that somewhere in [comport] this information is discarded.
Probably it shouldn't be discarded, if you want a timing resolution
better than 64 samples.
Ciao
